David Gibson was born on 8 February 1905 at Priestfield Mains in Blantyre to Hugh Gibson and Jessie McLean Craig. His father was a coal miner. In 1911 the family lived at 112 Main Street in Blantyre and David attended school. He was his parents' oldest child.

On 2 November 1928 David Gibson married Marion Sneddon Lively at the Manse in Blantyre after banns were published and according to the forms of the Church of Scotland. At the time of his marriage, he lived at 17 School Lane in Blantyre and worked on-cost at a colliery. I do know know if he and Marion had children.

David's wife died in 1982 in Blantyre, but I do not know when he died.
